`UKL
- Muhammad and some people of `Ukl
Some people came and fell sick. Muhammad gave them permission to use
the camels milk and urine as medicine and they became well. After that,
they killed the shepherd and killed the camels, and after being caught,
Muhammad had them tortured till they died.
Narrated Anas:
A group of people from 'Ukl (tribe) came to the Prophet and they
were living with the people of As-Suffa, but they became ill as
the climate of Medina did not suit them, so they said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Provide us with milk." The Prophet said, I see no other
way for you than to use the camels of Allah's Apostle." So they went
and drank the milk and urine of the camels, (as medicine) and became
healthy and fat. Then they killed the shepherd and took the camels
away. When a help-seeker came to Allah's Apostle, he sent some men
in their pursuit, and they were captured and brought before mid day.
The Prophet ordered for some iron pieces to be made red hot, and
their eyes were branded with them and their hands and feet were cut
off and were not cauterized. Then they were put at a place called
Al-Harra, and when they asked for water to drink they were not given
till they died. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those people committed theft and
murder and fought against Allah and His Apostle.")
